[edit] Amateur Boxers

The page is very very stubby, not linked anywhere, and appears to be pointless. If "Amateur boxer" is an official class in a notable boxing league the article should be changed to reflect that, but save that (or an actual organization called "Amateur Boxers") this article is just a dictionary definition combining the words "Amateur" and "Boxer".

  • Redirect to Boxing. The nominator's reference to "notable boxing league" suggests that he is completely ignorant about the organisation of boxing. Amateur boxing is one of the main sports at the Olympics and one of the largest amateur sports in the world! It is different from professional boxing in many ways, almost to the point of being a separate sport (arguably as much as rugby league and rugby union are separate sports). The coverage of amateur boxing in the main articles is inadequate at present, and ideally there should be a separate article at amateur boxing, which currently redirects to Boxing.

  • Please don't insult me for no reason. I understand what and how important Amateur Boxing is, I was just saying it's not out of the realm of possibilities that there is a league named "Amateur Boxers". Please don't insult folks off the cuff like that. Staxringold talkcontribs 23:31, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: Not enough info to merit an article. The info might have a place in Boxing. Heimstern Läufer 05:51, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
